Ah, a little too hasty there: it's get_pgpid() that has to be
reaching an exit().
If I redirect the output to a file (which is what the buildfarm client actually does), it seems like it completes successfully, but I still get a non-zero exit:
pgrunner@EC2AMAZ-GCB871B UCRT64 ~/bf
$ /usr/bin/perl -e 'chdir "root/HEAD/instkeep.2023-04-25_11-09-41"; system("bin/pg_ctl -D data-C -l logfile stop > stoplog 2>&1") ; print "BANG\n" if $?; '
BANG
pgrunner@EC2AMAZ-GCB871B UCRT64 ~/bf
$ cat root/HEAD/instkeep.2023-04-25_11-09-41/stoplog
waiting for server to shut down.... done
server stopped
It seems more than odd that we get to where the "server stopped" massage is printed but we get a failure.
